From 8 March to 28 July 2024, as part of Testimoni, the 7th edition of the Brescia Photo Festival, the Museo di Santa Giulia is hosting an exhibition commemorating, on the occasion of its 50th anniversary, the Piazza della Loggia massacre of 28 May 1974, in which eight people lost their lives.
The project developed by Maurizio Galimberti draws on images provided by the Casa della Memoria Archive, the Silvano Cinelli Historical Archive and the Corsini/Ferrari Archive. Starting from the photographs taken on the day of the massacre, and also including some images of posters, wall graffiti, the reportage of the funeral and children’s drawings, Galimberti has created a new, powerful reading.
In the exhibition, with 40 compositions and a series of 50×60 cm Polaroids, the artist breaks down and resemantises, according to his most characteristic expressive style, the images of that period reportage, thus enabling the public to reflect, also through the medium of photography, on the scope and dramatic nature of that tragic and extremely serious event.
